i know its a lot but I think it's gonna be interesting to see what teams you guys can come up with
My last name is very popular, but my first wasn’t. I still managed to find one. Being Finnish certainly doesn’t help.
Yeah...the options are fairly limited.
Finnish names tend to be very one-of-a-kind. I don't think my own name appears in any other language but Finnish - although it's descends from a very common name throughout the globe.

Mine is pretty much exclusive to Canada and maybe France. I have a french name that isn’t easy to pronounce in English. When I have to repeat my name a couple of times before they get it it becomes very annoying. Can’t imagine what you have to go through.

If I say my name to non-Finnish speaking person, they absolutely never get it right on the first try. Even after the 100th try they still f*ck it up lol.
Still a very common name here.
Quoting: EsoYeezus69
The only person who has the same name as me is the more irrelevant Weber
As from this...I gotta assume that your name is Yannick lol.

Yup.
Do Finnish names tend to finish (no pun intended) with nen, or is it just me?

They do. My own last name also finish with nen as well lol. Most of the most common last names here finishes with nen.
I'm not completely certain why that is, but If I recall correctly it points out to which part of the country your ancestors were from. Commonly people with last names ending with -nen descends from the eastern Finland. And from descending I'm talking from like waaaaay back. Like from the middle ages or so.

I know my ancestors were from France and moved to the Maritimes in the 1600’s ish. Then a century and a half later happened the Expulsion of the Acadiens which some of my ancestors escaped. You can search the rest of the story if you’re interested.
